Management of PCOS should be INDIVIDUALISED to each woman according to the specific symptoms experienced:
General Measures helping ALL symptoms
Weight loss
Exercise
Low Glycemic Diet
Glucophage SR (500mg daily up to 2000mg daily)
Irregular period
Celine (x1 to x4 tablets daily)
Inofolic Acid (x1 to x2 sachets daily)

At least a period every 4 months is ABSOLUTELY required. This is so in order to reduce the risk of endometrial cancer. If there is no period within four months then an induced period can be achieved using Duphaston (x1 pill twice daily for 7 days)
